Privacy Statement
Available at: http://www.parra.catholic.edu.au/policy-central
This statement sets out how the Catholic Education Diocese of Parramatta (CEDP) collects, uses and discloses personal information through our schools, Catholic Early Learning Centres (CELCs), Catholic Out of School Hours Care services (COSHCs) and offices.
What personal information do we collect and how?
We collect personal information, including health information and other sensitive information, about:
- students in our schools and children in our CELCs and COSHCs (together 'Students') and their parent/s, carer/s or guardian/s ('Parents') before, during and after enrolment
- employees and volunteers ('Staff'), contractors and job applicants, and
- other people who come into contact with us.
We will generally collect personal information via forms filled out by Parents or Students; file notes of face to face meetings, interviews or telephone calls; or correspondence with Parents or Students. Sometimes we may be provided with personal information by a third party, for example via a medical report or a reference from another school, care centre or an employer.
How will we use your personal information?
We will use your personal information for the primary purpose for which it was collected and for such other secondary purposes that are related to the primary purpose and reasonably expected.
We may use the personal information of Students and Parents:
- to assess enrolment applications, including assessing possible risks associated with known behaviour to safety of Students and Staff
- to facilitate a smooth transition of Students to our schools, CELCs and COSHCs, which may include a health and allergy management plan, preparing a behaviour management plan or other appropriate strategies aimed at meeting the particular needs of the Student
- to keep Parents informed about a Student's care, education and development
- to perform day to day administration
- to provide for Students' educational, social, spiritual and medical well-being and a safe learning environment
- to obtain donations and market our services
- to prepare State and national reports, and
- to discharge our schools', CELCs' and COSHCs' duty of care and our other legal obligations.
We may use the personal information of Staff and contractors:
- to administer employment processes and contracts
- to enable our Staff and contractors to work together with our schools, CELCs and COSHCs
- to obtain funds and market our services
- to provide a safe working and learning environment
- to discharge our legal obligations, and
- for insurance purposes.
We will also use the information for any purpose to which you have consented or that is required or authorised by law.
Photos/video/audio of Students are used for various communication media including CEDP, school, CELC, COSHC and Catholic Education Office websites, publications, newsletters, and enrolment posters. If any Parent does not want their child's photo used in any of the above situations please inform the principal of the school the CELC director or the COSHC supervisor, as applicable.
To whom might we disclose your personal information?
We may share personal information between our schools, CELCs, COSHCs and offices, and to:
- another school or care center to which a student transfers
- government departments
- the local parish of the school, CELC or COSHC or your local parish
- medical practitioners
- organisations which assist us with fundraising and marketing, for example a school's parish, foundation or alumni organisation
- service providers, for example counsellors, specialist visiting teachers and sports coaches
- other service providers, such as email service providers
- recipients of school publications like school newsletters and magazines
- Parents
- anyone you authorise us to disclose information to, and
- anyone to whom we are required or authorised to disclose the information by law, including to discharge our duty of care.
Why do we use and disclose information for marketing and fundraising?
Marketing and donations play an important part in creating current and future learning and caring environments in our schools, CELCs and COSHCs. For these reasons we may disclose personal information to organisations which assist us with fundraising, for example the school's parish, foundation or alumni organisation.
Parents' Occupation And Education - National Goals For Schooling
Information about Parents' occupations and education is accessed by the Australian Curriculum, Assessment and Reporting Authority (ACARA) to meet the government's National Goals for Schooling in the 21st century. These state that the achievement of students in schools should not be affected by discrimination based on sex, language, culture and ethnicity, religion or disability; or by differences arising from social and economic background or geographic location. The goals also state that 'the learning outcomes of educationally disadvantaged students [should] improve and, over time, match those of other students'.
To help schools to achieve these goals, all Parents across Australia, no matter which school their child attends, are asked to provide information about family background. The main purpose of collecting this information is to promote an education system that is fair for all Australian students regardless of their circumstances.
We use the information to evaluate whether our policies are effective and to ensure that no group is experiencing undue disadvantage.
Providing information about Parents' occupation and education is voluntary, but Parents' information will help us to ensure that all students are being well served by our schools.
When will we send information overseas?
We will not send personal information outside Australia without:
- the consent (express or implied) of the individual, or their Parent where necessary,
- otherwise complying with the Australian Privacy Principles or other applicable privacy legislation.
Our schools', CELCs', COSHCs' and office email systems are provided through Google Apps. Consequently emails and email account details may be transferred, stored and processed in the United States or any other country utilised by Google.
Our schools use a range of contemporary learning tools and latest technologies including Web 2.0 tools, Hubworks, cloud-based web services and apps for education. We may provide personal information to the relevant service provider in connection with the provision of these services. The service providers may be located, or store and process information, outside Australia, including in the United States, Singapore and Ireland.
Management and Security of Personal Information
We have in place steps to protect the personal information we hold from misuse, interference, loss, unauthorised access, modification or disclosure by various methods such as locked storage of paper records and password access rights to electronic records. Wherever possible we require third parties with whom we exchange personal information to observe the Australian Privacy Principles.
We endeavour not to store personal information for longer than necessary.
Access and Correction of Personal Information
You may access information we hold about you and request that it be updated or corrected. Such requests should be made in writing to the school principal or the CELC director or the COSHC supervisor (as applicable) or the relevant director of service at the Catholic Education Office. We may require you to verify your identity and specify what information you require. We may charge you a fee to access your information to cover expenses of verifying your application and locating, retrieving and copying relevant records. If the information sought is extensive, we will advise the likely cost in advance. We will not charge you for the request or correction of your personal information.
There may be occasions when access to information is denied. Such occasions may include where the disclosure of information may have an unreasonable impact on others, for example if the disclosure breaches a school's duty of care or the privacy of others. In certain circumstances, we may also refuse access to, or correction of, employee records applying exemptions under the Privacy Act.
Consent and Right of Access to Personal Information Of Students by Parents
We treat consent given by Parents relating to personal information about Students as consent given by the Student and notices relating to personal information about Students given to Parents as notices given to the Student. An exception to this is when independently of Parents we may, at our discretion:
- give information we hold about a Student to that Student at his/her request, or
- allow a Student to give or withhold consent to release personal information about that Student.
This would normally be done only when the Student is of sufficient maturity and his/her personal circumstances warrant it.
There may be occasions where a Parent's access to their child's personal information is denied. Such occasions would include where release of the information would have an unreasonable impact on the privacy of others, or where the release may result in a breach of a school's, CELC's or COSHC's duty of care to the Student.
How do we treat sensitive information?
We will only use and disclose sensitive information for the purpose for which it was provided or for a directly related secondary purpose, unless you agree otherwise or the disclosure is permitted by law.
If you believe that we, including through one of our schools, CELCs or COSHCs, have contravened the Australian Privacy Principles and wish to complain, please contact the school, CELC or COSHC in the first instance if you are a Student or a Parent. Otherwise contact:
Privacy Officer
Catholic Education Diocese of Parramatta
Locked Bag 4, North Parramatta NSW 1750
We may ask you to fill out our Complaint Form or otherwise put your complaint in writing.
We will investigate your complaint and will notify you of our decision in relation to your complaint as soon as is practicable after it has been made.
Complaint handlers will keep written records of the complaint resolution process and outcomes. Complaint records will be filed and stored appropriately.
The complainant may request a review of the process. The review will be undertaken by a person nominated by the Executive Director of Schools.
You may also submit your complaint to the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner.

Why would you want this for "real" ? Unless the driver mode is fixed. Who want to micro manage the angle of all of their tank manualy ? Why would the tanks AI wouldn't turn their body sideway when needed automaticaly ?
If it's done automatically, then it would only be body dependent. Some body would have better mean deviating armor then others. Pushing the simulation up to simulating each single angle when anyway we randomly generate that angle would be useless. At the end, it would only be a new armor set in % of damage instead of fixed value.
It wouldnt be hard at all to implement but for which goal ? Everywhere you want a armor in %, simply increase the HP by the same amount.

Soon after you submit a lab request, a librarian will contact you to set up a day and time to meet. During this meeting, the librarian will teach you useful research skills and strategies, such as how to identify and use relevant print and electronic resources. Whenever you have a challenging research question or problem, that's the time to request a library lab.

GalleryHow to Make Veselka's Latkes
Veselka is nothing short of an institution when it comes to Eastern European food in New York, so it should come as no surprise that when latke season rolls around, we look to them as experts.
Veselka will be competing against other equally acclaimed restaurants in BAM's Fourth Annual Latke Festival next week, where they will debut a special latke just for partygoers. (You can enter for a chance to win two tickets here.) But here's step-by-step demo of their more traditional latke recipe that you can order at either Veselka location, even if the craving hits you in July.

Yes. One element of our educational philosophy is that students learn better when they live together on campus. This residential model shapes everything from our policies, our programs, to the design of our buildings. One outcome of this educational philosophy is our requirement for all traditional undergraduate students to live on-campus. We do, however, provide for a few exemptions from this policy:
Mattresses in all residence life areas are 36 by 80 inches, and require Twin XL (extra long) bedding.
You will receive information on how to access your roommate contact when you receive your housing assignment. Your room and roommate information will be on the "Student Life" tab in your my.letu.edu account.
Your box number will be included with your housing information.
Your physical and delivery (UPS, FedEx, etc.) address will be:
LeTourneau University
2100 South Mobberly Ave.
Longview, TX 75602
Your mailing (US Postal Service) address will be:
LeTourneau University
PO Box 7001
Longview, TX 75607-7001
Room space is limited, so it is recommended that students wait to bring any additional furniture or large items until they have seen their room with their belongings and their roommate's belongings. Due to restrictions from the Longview Fire Marshal, there are limitations on additional furniture that can be brought into the rooms. Bicycles must be stored outside the residence halls.
Bicycle racks can be found outside each residence hall. Bikelids are provided in the Trinities parking lot and may be secured through University Police. The only cost for the bikelids is a deposit for the key. Bicycles may not be kept inside. It is recommended that all students lock their bikes while not in use.
Remember that you will likely be sharing the space with a roommate, so you don't need to fill it. But take a look at the suggested packing list that we came up with to get some ideas on what to bring.
We do not allow the construction of lofts or shelving systems. We will allow you to construct a bookcase or small shelving unit that conforms to our guidelines.
This is prohibited in every living area due to the fire hazard. However, feel free to bring a flameless alternative, such as wax melts or oil diffusers.
The university supplies each shower with a curtain (opaque or white).
Refrigerators should not exceed a size of 4.6 cubic feet.
Students are allowed to use microwave ovens, small refrigerators (4.6 cu. ft. or smaller), coffee makers, popcorn poppers, and blenders in their rooms. These items must be plugged directly into the wall outlet. Other appliances such as temperature controlled electric fry pans/griddles, counter-top/toaster ovens, slow cookers, and toasters are not allowed in rooms due to electrical wiring and fire hazards. These appliances may only be used in areas designated by the Resident Director. Many of the residence hall lounges have a community refrigerator and microwave.
Other appliances such as hot plates, "George Foreman"-like indoor grills, and deep fryers are not permitted for use in any of the residence halls. Window AC units are also not permitted. Questions regarding the use of appliances not specifically mentioned in this section should be directed to the RD.
Irons must have an automatic-off feature. Ironing must not be done on a bed or on the floor without proper protection from the heat. Extension cords are not permitted, except for outlet center/power strip extension cords, which must be UL-rated. If a student's use of power cords is considered a fire hazard, the Residence Life staff will instruct the student accordingly.
Fish are the only pets permitted.
White plastitac, 3M Brand& Command Strips, and Mavalus Brand Dorm or Teachers Tape are our recommended means to hang room decorations. Residents of Gilbert Hall may hang room decorations with straight pins.
Residence Halls are locked 24/7. Each residence hall has access control systems in place to allow students to visits other residents. At midnight, access to any hall is limited to the residents of that hall. We recommend that students leave their personal doors locked at all times when they are not on their floor.
The University will no longer provide television service as of July 2018. Should a student desire television service, we recommend a personal digital antenna. Otherwise, there are several streaming services that provide live television channels (i.e. SlingTV, Hulu, YouTubeTV, etc.). Exterior antennas and satellite systems are not permitted.
Phone service is provided through the LeTourneau University Office of Information Technology. The cost of on-campus, local, and domestic long-distance telephone service is included in housing fees. International calls must be made through a third-party providers via a calling card or other similar means.
Students who wish to have a phone in their room should contact the Office of Residence Life to request that a phone extension be assigned. Students must also provide their own phone, and depending on the living area, a network adapter may be needed. Adapters are available upon request from IT. LeTourneau provides voicemail service (that delivers messages to the students' email accounts). In some residence halls, cordless phones may experience reception problems.
An Ethernet port and phone port are provided for each student. The university also provides Wi-Fi throughout campus. An e-mail account for each student, as the official means of communication from the University. Click here for more details about the data connection.
In general, no. For further info, check out the IT Website on File Sharing.
Upper division students who meet the following requirements are invited to apply for a position in apartment housing: a minimum total of 60 credit hours, a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.5, and no disciplinary probation during the previous two semesters.
Laundry facilities are provided for all residents. South, Gilbert, Thomas, & Davis Halls have laundry facilities provided on the first floor of each building. Tyler Hall has a laundry facility located to the north of the building. For residents of The Quad, Trinity Halls (Pennsylvania, Mabee, and Evelyn LeTourneau Halls), and Village Apartments, laundry facilities are provided in a large laundromat east of Trinity Halls. Residents of the Married Student Apartments & Village Apartments may use the laundry facilities found in the Village Center, located in the apartment living area.
Each load is 75 cents to wash and 75 cents to dry. Change machines are available in each laundry room. The University Cashier is also able to exchange bills for rolls of quarters.

Lucasfilms Stops 3D Star Wars Re-Releases
Disney has owned Lucasfilms for less than a year, and already they're making some better decisions than George Lucas. Deadline broke the news yesterday that they would not re-release any more Star Wars movies in 3D, focusing instead on the new films they are producing for the franchise.
Star Wars Episode 1 was re-released in 3D almost a year ago, bringing in a disappointing $23 million domestically. (The original took in over $64 million on its opening weekend alone.)
So the decision, like most in Hollywood, is probably economic. But, unlikely as it is, Lucasfilms' new execs could actually be trying to make good movies that fanboys will like too.
This same week, they announced that geek demi-god J.J. Abrams (Lost, Star Trek) would be directing. Michael Arndt, the scribe of Oscar-winning indie darling Little Miss Sunshine, was previously announced to write the script. It hardly seems like a totally commercial duo.
The directing gig had previously been turned down, even scorned, by several directors- including J.J. Abrams, who said he "wouldn't even want to be involved" with "these things."
Then again, die-hard fans would be most happy if Disney just stepped away and didn't touch their beloved franchise. So the studio appears to be trying to balance pure commercialism and actual popular appeal.
What do you think?

The Ultimate "Baby Prediction" plus much more!
A spectator selects a card and it is shuffled back into the deck. The magician states that before he came to the show, he made a prediction which he placed inside of the envelope marked with a question mark.
The magician asks spectator if they have any idea what was predicted in the envelope. The spectator answers "NO", at which time the magician pulls the prediction from the envelope with "NO" in large, bold letters!
The performer states, "You're absolutely correct, in fact, you were "right ON". When he says "right ON", he turns the prediction card over changing the word "NO" to "ON".
The magician now states that he has a prediction on the other side of the "ON" card.
The audience is asked to name a very famous person. Someone everyone will recognize.
When a name chosen, the "ON" card is turned over revealing a baby picture, stating that "Here they are at 6 months old."
Next, the magician states, "I know what your thinking, what if you would have said Oprah Winfrey?" At the that time, the magician opens the small baby picture to reveal a different full size baby picture.
The performer claims that he does in fact have a prediction of the spectator's chosen card. The magician has them concentrate on card, then, the baby picture turns into a "52 Card Prediction". He explains that their card must be there somewhere among the picture of 52 cards.
Finally, the spectator names their card. The "52 Card Prediction" makes one final transformantion, revealing the selected card. A comedy miracle!
This is a quick comedy prediction that is easily used in all situations. Stage magicians, parlor, MC's, stand-up, and yes, even close-up workers will benefit from this fun, entertaining routine. Enjoy!

Robotics teams to practice Saturday
The local extension of Texas State Technical College (TSTC) West Texas has been getting ready for its second year of their BEST robotics program on its campus which began on Saturday, Sept. 7, 2012.The first of three events for the Big Country BEST (Boosting Engineering, Science and Technology) competition was the BEST Kickoff which was Saturday, Sept. 7. Participants were introduced to the game where rules were reviewed and a demonstration was provided before entry kits were distributed to each school.The next event will be tomorrow, Saturday, Oct. 6, 2012, at Texas State Technical College. This will be the first practice day and will be from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.Three area schools are involved in BEST — Sweetwater, including a team at Sweetwater High School and one at Sweetwater Middle School; Roscoe; and Highland.The BEST competition was founded in 1993 in Texas by two engineers from Texas Instruments, Ted Mahler and Steve Marum, with 14 schools and 221 students. Eighteen years later, the program has grown with competitions held in 15 states in over 850 schools with over 12,500 students involved.The program strives to engage, excite and inspire students to pursue careers in the three aspects highlighted in the competition — engineering, science and technology.Students are provided with real-world engineering experience and prepared to be technologically literate. In addition, participants glean a variety of leadership, project management, teamwork and organizational skills while building confidence and competence within the fields.The program has two divisions: robotics and the BEST award. In Robotics, the team from the school must also enter a Project Engineering Notebook, which describes the Engineering Design Process and how it was used in designing the robot.The BEST Award is the top achievement — which includes an oral presentation, educational exhibit, spirit and sportsmanship as well as robot performance. With marketing making up 25% of the total score and the exhibit also consisting of 25%, half of the entire score goes beyond the robotics aspect.Sweetwater Intermediate School has four robotics teams. Shown are (in no particular order) Jesica Aguilera, Carson Andrews, Jackie Arellano, Kimberly Arpin, Tristan Baker, Samantha Bugarin, Michaela Currie, Tristyn Davis, Xandria DeLaCruz, Reese Hayes, Rylan Hayes, Cooper Hrbacek, Austin Moreland, Jonathan Sanchez, Kaylee Thomas, Caleb Reed, Faith Santiago, Collin Stafford, Gavin Reyes, Caden von Atzigen, Kaitlyn Chance, Daiman Atkins, Nickolas Cantu, Joseph Collins, Elizabeth Fernandez, Brody Frieda, Zachariah Garza, Makenna Miher, Jasen Nelson, Andres Neri, Hailey Orozco, Kendale Orozco, Gabriella Pena, Isaiah Pena, Carlos Perez, Joshua Reeves, Daniella Renteria & Katie Tyson.

Live in Sofia, Bulgaria

on January 8th, 2017
at club *MIXTAPE 5*
Polish black metal sensation BATUSHKA Live in Sofia!
The hooded musicians whose identity is kept secret began to wear out, but the Polish Batushka did manage to play their cards well with the teaser image inspired by the Christian father and recreated with black irony and sarcasm. They possess not only the media interest with their mysterious appearance and the following sudden outbreak, but also attract incredibly wide range of fans. Whether because of the jokes with the Orthodox Church, its rituals, symbols and attributes or because of the so good black metal touch that you get immediately hooked? But facts are facts - Batushka are sensational! The band has a powerful stage presence and their black "liturgy" live is not just a show, but a multi-layer performance, which is difficult to get out of...
It's really amazing how with just two editions and such a short history behind (they were established in 2015!), a band can thus release tentacles and state presence in the extreme stage so confidently. Their debut CD "Litourgiya" (2015) is among the albums that will line up in the personal list of not one or two as one of the strongest black metal debuts. What is more, it is preceded only by a single "Yekteníya VII" (Single 2015).
So, we at Live & Loud did not hesitate and grabbed the band for a show in Bulgaria at the time when it climbs rapidly upward. The date of the show in Sofia is 8 January 2017, and the venue is *MIXTAPE 5*.
As already announced on the band's Facebook page at the very start of the new 2017 the band is starting their "European Pilgrimage Part I Tour 2017" as the concert tour is entitled. Support on the tour is the Polish ARKONA, and it is expected that one more artist will join the show in Sofia.
It is up to you to try to stalk some of the musicians to find out whether someone from MGLA, HATE, BEHEMOTH or VADER is hiding behind the black cassock. We release the tickets sale for the show on Monday, November 28th, and we'll you leave the conspiracy to you.
Until November 30th (inclusive) tickets will be available at the special price of 25 BGN, and as of December 1st, they will cost 30 BGN. On the day of the show tickets will cost 35 BGN and will be available only at the door.
More details coming soon!
eTicketsMall offers only electronic tickets, which the customers print themselves. Alternatively, customers may downoad their tickets on their mobile phones and open the QR code on the phone screen to be scanned at the entrance.

One of the main five themes of our upcoming Integrated Marketing Week in June is about managing integration in your organization. This is a complex area so we are exploring how companies are dealing with it from an organizational structures perspective, how they can resource correctly and work with and manage agencies and vendors.
During our JUMP conference in January, we asked that exact question to some of our speakers and so we looked back at a couple of the videos to find out more about what other marketers are trying to accomplish with integration across their organization.
Organizational transformation is a collaboration
J. Graeme Noseworthy is IBM's Strategic Messaging Director of Big Data for Marketing, Media & Entertainment and he spoke at JUMP about transforming from the CMO downward and how they can make better decisions about the mix that will serve customers more completely.
But what we're seeing in terms of being able to apply big data and analytics to marketing within an organization is that it's not really up to one person. The CMO needs to talk with the CIO, the CIO needs to work with the CTO and they all have to work together.
Saying that, it's less of a decision and more about a collaboration. Certain people own the technology, certain people own the data and certain people own the campaigns so we can see where those all fit but what we're finding is these collaborations are creating something new. These new things are leading to very exciting projects, very exciting prospects and it's allowing corporate leadership to do more with less and it's allowing them to do things they've never been able to do before.
We can see this trend when looking at how companies are allocating their budgets for 2013. According to our Marketing Budgets Report 2013, 71% of companies plan to boost spending on digital marketing technology during 2013, as marketers aim for cross-channel integration and optimisation. Companies are most likely to be increasing investment during 2013 in the following types of marketing technology: analytics (46%), CRM (45%) and content management systems (41%).
Change doesn't happen overnight
Jason Heller is the CEO of Agiliti, a digital marketing operations and strategy consultancy. In his role, he has seen the struggles companies are having with change.
Day to day it's more of a mindset, and you can't change what's happening overnight. You have to be able to identify where the bad habits are within your organization and Heller has definitely seen some common bad habits. Complacency is one of them.
There is a phrase I'd like to say is the most dangerous phrase in marketing and that is "This is not how things are done around here." It's a damaging phrase and something I hear way too often.
Day to day you need to identify the weak links in the chain, the people, processes and systems that are not enabling you to operate proficiently and to engage consumers in the way that you want to. You need to have metrics in place that enable and empower you to report into the organization to show that your tactics and executions are actually having an impact rather than being just cool and sexy, which are very poor KPIs.
With only 22% of companies stating that they have a company-wide strategy that ties data collection and analysis to company objectives, we're still far from making this a reality.

Blerg! Tina Fey Says "No Way" to Hosting the Oscars

Tins of popcorn have been flying across this country for years around the holidays—often arriving already stale (shudder)—but this year a tin of, dare I say it, deliciousness landed on my desk.
Plus: Christmas Recipes for Kids
Normally, I'm kind of meh on popcorn—I mean, chocolate generally comes before all else when it comes to my snacking preferences—but the fresh-popped popcorn from the husband-and-wife team behind Doc Popcorn was darn good. And by darn good, I mean that it vanished in a single meeting, having been devoured by co-workers eager to try it—and then going back for seconds and thirds.
Plus: Moms' Yummiest Holiday Cookie Recipes
Available in flavors like sweet butter, cheesy cheddar, salt-n-pepper, hoppin' jalapeño, and sinfully cinnamon, Doc Popcorn has, er, popped up in over 40 locations, including shopping malls, stadiums, and even on the shelves of Whole Foods stores in the Rocky Mountain region. You can also order it online: a single flavor one-gallon tin is $15; a 3.5-gallon tin is $40 and holds up to three flavors, and a six-bag sampler is just $20.
Do you normally give or receive popcorn as a holiday gift? Do you string it on Christmas trees?

Greetings from Toronto! I was in town for the Feminist Porn Awards and of course brought my camera! Hot to see Judy Minx again, I headed to her room for a quickie which escalated into an all-night love affair full of perversions and queer femme fetishes! River Turner led Jiz Lee & Drew DeVeaux in a dance routine which turned into a three-way genderqueer fuckfest. April Flores called an escort service for a gorgeous, leggy, brunette femme -- and the lovely Dylan Ryan obliged with a hard steel Njoy Eleven sex toy ready to serve April's soft, sexy body. Lascivia Liberty and Scout fucked in a sunny, hot pink bedroom with lots of toys and orgasms, anal, and kink! This was one wet ride with ejaculation in every scene! I hope you enjoy these hot, diverse, hardcore vignettes proving once again that hot queers can be found anywhere and everywhere... will your town be next? xoxo, Courtney Trouble

I bought this based on the reviews & had high hopes-However, we were not able to watch this entire video because we have NO desire to watch people spit on each other-Talk about disresectful & a turn off!!!
We were only able to watch one of the vignettes-The one with the 3 lesbians-Very good-It looked like they actually had some chemistry & they use lube-not spit.
I would recommend this movie to porn lovers of all types. This is very female friendly, because the majority of the love-making involves only women. The intercourse is intimate, kinky, and fun to watch. There are lots of variety among the couples, which was fun to watch. There was also a LOT of squirting. It's the best porn film that I've seen in a long time. I don't normally watch queer sex but I found it educational as well as entertaining. Women can learn more activities to do in bed, even if they are not queer. I always enjoy learning more about my body, so I know what to ask my partner for during intercourse. The bonus scene involved a kinky, straight couple who I really enjoyed watching. They were great at mixing up sex and keeping it interesting, even though they have been together for years. (Yay!)
--from our reviewer, Geeky Nympho
If you want to be an outsider looking in on real queer alt sex, then Courtney Trouble's Roulette Toronto is the DVD for you. I am not talking about being a creepy peeper watching people through windows. Ms. Trouble makes you feel as if you have been invited into the room to watch, but told you not to expect to get involved. There is no mugging for the camera in this film…just real people, with real bodies, engaged in real sex, and having real orgasms. The camera brings you close to the action, but it is not in-your-face porn. It's more like you are enjoying the show over the shoulder of the ladies.
What is striking about this film is how generous the players are with each other. There is a palpable focus on bringing their partner's to orgasm. Granted, this may not be the same way you, or your lover, wants to be brought to orgasm, but that is the magic of this DVD. The players in this film know what gets their partners off, and they work nearly lovingly at providing that for them. It is incredibly intimate for all of its rough edges.
--from our reviewer, Pegging Life
This isn't really the type of porn I usually go for, but I found that I really enjoyed some of the scenes. There was squirting everywhere in this movie and I loved it. Everything was authentic, no faked sounding orgasm or faked enjoyment, and that is something I really appreciate in a porn.
--from our reviewer, Bzzing Bee
Here was something that was real. The only thing scripted was the set-up. No surgically-enhanced, cosmetically-modified, silicone-injected, half-starved, clean-shaven, waxed, plucked, bo-toxed, bleached and tinted sex puppets moaning on cue. No half-baked plots that start telling an interesting story that is suddenly interrupted by miraculously spontaneous sex on the countertops. Instead, an international cast of real women, set in real places, placed in the same room with a bunch of toys and apparently a heavy dose of aphrodisiacal gasses pumped through the air conditioning vents because these women are electric!
This is "reality porn" – set the situation, spark the interest, let it happen naturally and record the results. It's harsh, gritty, grimy and even a little perverted, yet strangely sensual in a way that defies description. These women aren't exploited – they do this because they want to do it! Hell, they have fun doing it and it's more than apparent!
--from our reviewer, EVO
While I seriously had a hard time deciding which scene in this movie was my favorite (they were all great), I would probably have to say Lascivia Liberty and Scout's scene on a hot pink bed in a hot pink bedroom was my favorite. There is just something so freaking hot for me about a gender bending sex session that gets me going. The mix of harnesses, work boots, lingerie and high heels? Yes please! There are so many fun positions and toys used in this scene. First and foremost is a strap-on harness. I've recently become enamored with everything to do with harnesses and can first hand tell you how sexually empowering it is to use one, even if not to have sex. The possibility of switching between and among genders so easily makes for absolutely great sex.
--from our reviewer, Undercover Kinkster
The things I love about queer porn were definitely present here. Genderqueerness. Body variety. Laughing during sex. Body hair. Body fluids. Negotiation/communication being seen during sex. Kinky play. Camera angles that show the connection, not just pink bits. All really nice. And this is the second time Courtney has suggested in porn the idea of women being sex work clients, which I really, really like- it's about time women saw themselves as potential consumers within the sex industry.
So, yeah, I liked this "Roulette" a lot, and definitely would recommend watching it. It's very girl-heavy, so if that's what you want from your queer porn, this would be a good one to check out! Plus it might be a little more accessible to the queer girl with a straight boyfriend- this may change his tastes a bit. ;) It's also really fun to see the video diaries- the behind the scenes really makes this special for me, because you really feel included, like you know these people and are sharing their hot sexytimes. That rocks. I loved the moment where Dylan tells April "you totally squirted!" and April looks surprised and apologizes- Dylan say "no, don't apologize, it was incredible!" and they both just look so delighted… it's really touching.

Few cars attract buyers the way the Hyundai Fluidic Verna has been doing so since it was launched in 2011. Within a few months of its launch, the Fluidic Verna became segment leader and has retained its standing. Despite the slowdown in the mid-size sedan segment, the car continued to post positive growth. In fact, the Fluidic Verna increased its market share in the segment from 31% in 2012 to 37% in 2013. But competition has been heating up. The new, much-improved Honda City is eating into Verna sales.
Now, the Verna has powerful engine options, its build quality is among the best and it is a very well-equipped car, but where it faltered was the way its suspension behaved at high speeds. Although it was fun to drive in the city limits, but on the highway, especially at speeds above 80 kmph, the steering-feel used to be almost unresponsive and the ride was bouncy.
The good news is Hyundai has worked upon these shortcomings and has also introduced a few additional features in the 2014 Verna. First is changes to suspension, which now gets stiffer springs. The result: It doesn't really 'crash' into potholes and tackles bad roads relatively well. The car's straight-line stability has improved to an extent and the way the car tackles tight corners is also commendable. But make no mistake, the ride quality at high speeds is still not in the league of the Honda City or the Skoda Rapid. However, where the 2014 Verna delights is in equipment. The major changes include projector headlamps with LED positioning lamp, 16-inch diamond cut alloy wheels, and automatic & follow-me-home headlamps. Then you have keyless entry and drive—simply keep the smart-key in your pocket, unlock the car by pressing a small tab on the door handle, start the car by pressing a button on the dashboard and drive it.
The Verna has always been a good city car, and with these changes, it can now be a comfortable highway companion too. Hyundai has kept prices unchanged for the 2014 Verna—the petrol version starts from Rs 7.18 lakh and the diesel Rs 8.35 lakh, ex-showroom, Delhi.

Thoughts to Ponder
Picking On Him
On a hike or in camp we reveal our true selves most. Did you ever know a Scout who thought people were always picking on him?
Another time he burned a steak. "It was the fire's fault," he insisted, until the other fellows laughed at him and showed him how the same bed of coals could help turn out a well-cooked steak.
Things usually happen to us because we set the stage for them. Actually, people are too busy to spend their time picking on us.

Jennifer Lawrence Has 30 Minutes to Schmooze Oscar Voters Before Getting Back to Hunger Games
We met her at a party for Silver Linings Playbook, before she jetted back to Panem.
"I'm flying out in ten minutes. Literally ten minutes," said Jennifer Lawrence Sunday night, rushing into the after-party for a Dior-hosted screening of Silver Linings Playbook before jetting off to get back for an early morning call time in Atlanta for The Hunger Games: Catching Fire. She ended up actually spending about 30 minutes charming the crowd of Academy voters at Hotel Plaza Athenee, who'd already been wowed by her performance as Playbook's promiscuous young widow, Tiffany, who finds a kindred spirit in Bradley Cooper's bipolar ex-teacher, Pat, in David O. Russell's latest Oscar contender. Lawrence is currently the favorite for the Best Actress Academy Award, and this was clearly a party built around giving her and Russell an opportunity to schmooze with folks who have the power to hand them statuettes.
Lawrence won much of the crowd over with the movie's climactic dance scene; her character is an amateur modern dancer who's entered herself and Pat in a local community dance competition as a way of pulling them both out of their funks. So, how involved was Russell in coming up with dance moves, and can he even dance himself? "No," said Lawrence, "Mandy Moore [of So You Think You Can Dance] was our choreographer and she was fantastic." Russell gave instructions and notes, the most upsetting of which was when he decided to give Lawrence a stomach-baring dance outfit, "because he saw a rehearsal video where I was in a sports bra and, like, yoga pants," said Lawrence. "And I was like, 'You jerk! I did not want to be in a half top after you just told me to gain weight [for the role].' So yeah, that's how involved he was." Did he at least make her watch Dirty Dancing on repeat to study up for the dance sequence's big lift? "No, I did my fair share of Patrick Swayze Dirty Dancing research when I was 13," said Lawrence. "I didn't need to brush up on anything."
Though she had no idea what was waiting for her in Atlanta on the Hunger Games sequel set — "I'm going to go into hair and makeup and I couldn't tell you what scene we're doing," she said. "I have no idea. Sorry" — she knows exactly what awaits her in a week and a half: The production moves to Hawaii to film the arena scenes. What was she looking forward to the most there? "It's freaking Hawaii! I'm looking forward to everything," she said. "And I just heard there's a Cheesecake Factory, like, right down the street, part of the Trump, and that's got me really, really excited. Don't say Trump because I have no idea what I'm saying. But, yeah, so that has me excited. I think I'm the only American that really loves Cheesecake Factory and totally stands by it." Another thing she loves: Sleep No More, the immersive take on Macbeth in Chelsea, which she recently attended with her family. She'd been hoping to see one of the show's fabled orgies, she told the Times in a profile this week, but had somehow, disappointingly, not run into naked actors wrestling. "I really missed out!" she said. I informed her that there's actually an online guide on how to see the most nudity in that production. "If only I'd known," she mused, then added, "I thought you were going to give me a website where I could see lots of orgies. I'm like, 'I could get that from almost any guy here.'"
The Silver Linings party was small, and by the time she'd left, Lawrence had probably shaken hands with everyone in there, lending each admiring Academy member an attentive ear and a welcoming smile. It worked on director James Toback, a longtime Oscar voter. "I thought she was great in the movie, so I was already admiring of her performance, but I talked to her for a few minutes and she was so smart and likable and nice that it just makes you all the more eager to do something for the person," he said. "She didn't know my work at all and didn't know me — normally that is not a good sign — but in this case I didn't care because she was extremely appealing and nice. I have met certain people whom I automatically would never vote for because I didn't like the 30 seconds that I spent with them." He refused to name names ("the list is too long"), but added, "Listen, anyone who says that the Oscars is not a popularity contest is lying through his teeth. People vote for their friends and they vote against the people they don't like. I would almost say that one in ten voters that I've known over the years actually do it legitimately, if there is such a thing." So far, the folks in Silver Linings were doing well in winning his vote. "I'm easily seduced. I like Jennifer Lawrence immensely [after] three minutes," he said. "[Co-star Robert] De Niro I've been friendly with since 1977, so I always like him. Bradley Cooper told me Tyson [Toback's documentary about Mike Tyson] was a masterpiece, so I automatically liked him forever the only time I met him." When Toback (also a fan of The Fighter and Three Kings) met Russell later that evening, he reported back, "I spent ten minutes talking to David O. Russell who told me I was his hero and he loves my work and knew everything about me, and he could now make a movie that I didn't like and I would still write it as my best movie of the year without question. David O. Russell has now assumed the number one position of all directors in the world."
Lawrence had been walking out just as Russell had been walking in, and they'd been cornered by photographers. "Come on, someone take mercy on her and let her get out of those shoes!" Russell demanded, jokingly, as Lawrence pretended to tumble backwards from her sky-high Dior platforms, grabbing onto a large potted plant for support. "I can't take them off," she pretend-sulked. "My publicist is the boss of me. That's why I'm wearing a dog collar." She was wearing a ribbon choker, also Dior.
"Where are her flip-flops and sneakers?" shouted out a concerned Russell. "This is what friends are for."
"I left them in the car," Lawrence shouted back over her shoulder, hobbling out of the hotel. "They're in the same place as my soul."

Classic UEFA Champions League quarter-finals
Tuesday 1 April 2014
Article summary
UEFA.com recalls some of the competition's memorable last-eight ties, including a close all-German affair, several rousing comebacks and a record win in Manchester.
Article top media content
Article body
As this season's UEFA Champions League quarter-finals prepare to get under way, UEFA.com looks back at some memorable last-eight tussles. All headline scores are aggregate.
1997/98 FC Bayern München 0-1 Borussia Dortmund
The first time two clubs from the same country met in the UEFA Champions League and it proved a tight affair – a goalless first leg in Munich followed by 90 more scoreless minutes at the BVB Stadion Dortmund. Nineteen minutes into extra time, however, Stéphane Chapuisat finally broke through, dispatching a left-foot volley beyond Oliver Kahn's despairing dive to take the holders into the semi-finals again.
1999/2000 Chelsea FC 4-6 FC Barcelona
Barcelona had it all to do after losing the first leg 3-1 at Stamford Bridge, although Luís Figo's second-half strike offered a glimmer of hope for the return. Rivaldo and Figo duly scored in the first 45 minutes at Camp Nou to give Barça the edge on away goals, but Tore André Flo replied with his third goal of the tie on the hour and it took Dani García's 83rd-minute effort to force extra time. There Rivaldo fired Barcelona in front again on aggregate from the spot, yet it was not until Patrick Kluivert made it 5-1 on the night in the 104th minute that the Blaugrana could breathe easily.
2002/03 Real Madrid CF 6-5 Manchester United FC
Leading 3-1 from the Santiago Bernabéu, Ronaldo stretched Madrid's advantage early on at Old Trafford, setting the stage for an epic encounter. The Brazilian made it 2-1 five minutes after half-time after Ruud van Nistelrooy had equalised, and completed a majestic hat-trick before the hour, subsequently departing the pitch to a standing ovation from the United fans. Those supporters at least had a second-leg victory to cheer as Madrid-bound David Beckham came off the bench to score twice late on.
2003/04 Real Madrid CF 5-5 AS Monaco FC (Monaco win on away goals)
On-loan Madrid striker Fernando Morientes's late first-leg goal had seemed scant consolation for Monaco, beaten 4-2 in Spain and further behind when Raúl González registered on 36 minutes at Stade Louis II. Ludovic Giuly levelled in first-half added time, however, and when Morientes made it 2-1 on the night three minutes after the break the fightback was on. This was completed by Giuly's second and Monaco's third in the 66th minute. "This shows that in football anything is possible if you believe deep down," said Monaco coach Didier Deschamps.
2003/04 AC Milan 4-5 RC Deportivo La Coruña
Holders Milan appeared destined for the last four again having won the first leg 4-1 at San Siro, although Depor had form in the comeback department having recovered from 3-0 down to beat Paris Saint-Germain in the second group stage three years before. Walter Pandiani set in motion another rousing night at the Riazor with the first goal after five minutes, Juan Carlos Valerón's header made it 2-0 30 minutes later and Depor were ahead on away goals before the interval via Albert Luque's predatory instincts. Fran's deflected shot 14 minutes from time clinched the biggest turnaround in UEFA Champions League history.
2008/09 Liverpool FC 5-7 Chelsea FC
Meeting in the competition for the fifth straight season, Branislav Ivanović's first-leg double had given Chelsea a 3-1 victory at Anfield and seemingly a place in the semi-finals, but goals in the first half-hour at Stamford Bridge from Fábio Aurélio and Xabi Alonso brought Liverpool back into the tie. Didier Drogba and Alex settled Chelsea nerves, however, before Frank Lampard's 76th-minute effort left Liverpool needing to score three more. Incredibly, Lucas and Dirk Kuyt got them two-thirds of the way, until Lampard finally ended their challenge in the 89th minute.
2009/10 FC Bayern München 4-4 Manchester United FC (Bayern win on away goals)
The teams face off again in this season's quarter-finals, but will have to go some to match their epic struggle of four years ago. Bayern had required late goals from Franck Ribéry and Ivica Olić to overturn Rooney's second-minute opener in the first leg at the Fußball Arena München, yet that hard-won advantage lasted barely seven minutes in Manchester as Darron Gibson and Nani turned the contest in United's favour. Nani's second in the 41st minute left Bayern with it all to do, but they responded magnificently. Olić reduced the arrears within two minutes and Arjen Robben's sumptuous volley 16 minutes from time took them through on away goals.

My Ghoul Friday
I think I need to take a cue from xNEUROSPASTA next Christmas and create my own Dalek tree.
Maybe create a TARDIS cover for my fireplace.
Speaking of Dr. Who, normally I find Christmas Day kind of depressing after about 6 pm but this year I am very much looking forward to sprawling on the couch, too full to wear pants, too tired to wash the dishes, and watching the Dr. Who Christmas episode (SPACE - Canada's answer to ScyFy - is actually running Dr. Who alllll day long, including a "best of the Christmas Episodes" installment).
Don't care much for Dr. Who? Well, check out all the nerdtastic Christmas trees that made this list. I already shared that darling Cthulu tree on twitter, so hopefully some of you blog readers who missed it will also get a kick out of it.
Less than 3 hours before the Hungarian inlaws descend on the house. I'm done everything I'd planned to have in place before they and my mother (and Brizzby, the Bouvier) arrive. Which is a nice feeling because usually I am still running around like a mad woman at this time.
I hope all of you are also done whatever you have left to do this Christmas Eve. And if you're not, I hope you're at least having some fun as you rush around. And be safe out there. Lots of accidents yesterday in the city, and like Ellen Griswold said when Clark was driving like a mad man at Christmas: "Stop it. I don't want to spend the holidays dead."
Happy Ho Ho. Will probably pop on tomorrow, but just in case I miss you, a very Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to you and yours.
The best place to find current art and WIPs is Instagram
I'm also on Twitter but be prepared for political commentary
My self-published book is still available!
Craving more Halloween goodness?
Here are some sites to satisfy the hunger.

In this letter from Thomas Jefferson printed in the Greenfield Gazette in 1792, he thanks free African American Benjamin Banneker for the gift of an almanac and agrees with him that the white public needs as much evidence as possible to prove that African Americans are as talented and intelligent as everyone else. Banneker was a primarily self-taught scientist, mathematician, astronomer, surveyor, farmer and almanac author.
